Hi whtrader,

Once the RP-AC55 setup as node, the LAN port will only work as LAN backhaul. There wont be any Internet access.

Thank you

Hi pierrechoong,

May I know what category of LAN cable you are using for the alarm? Cat5? Cat5e? Straight or cross connection?

The same go for the LAN cable used on your PC.

And do you mind provide me the alarm model?

Thank you

ASUSmy RP-AC55 is a repeater or aimesh node?

Hi Asusmy,

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly on this.

Apologize that I am not sure what kind of lan cable is being used on the alarm...how do I check this? its written on the cable right?

The lan cable for the pc which I used is the one came with the new asus router.

The alarm I am using is Paradox alarm with its Internet module IP150.

Do keep me posted.

Thanks.

lol, same with my home alarm with IP150. Paradox already stopped support for PMH, so have no choice to use Asus router because only Asus router got provide free Asus lifetime DDNS.
The alarm only can support up to 100mbps I think. My home alarm was plugged to a D-Link gigabit switch (DGS-1016D) but not from the router directly. Since my router is connected to the LAN port 1 of the gigabit switch to make the switch connected to internet. The rest LAN cables, whole house LAN wall plug and CCTV were all connected to the gigabit switch.

I can give you my reference for port forwarding settings. However the port 83 may different from yours, due to the port 80 was used as my home CCTV. However, the port 10000 was the default port of paradox IP150. This one is used for the mobile apps iParadox or Inside Gold for us to access from outside by 4G or wifi. You may refer the port forward settings of your old router too since all the settings were inside there.

Hi junclj,

The RP-AC55 is repeater but we add it into the AiMesh family.

It can only become node, not AiMesh router.

Depending on your setting, if you set the RP-AC55 as a repeater mode, then the LAN port you can use if normally with Internet access.

But if you set it as AiMesh node, then the LAN can only use for LAN backhaul.

Thank you

Hi pierrechoong,

Normally it will be written on the cable.

Try to see how many copper cable are inside the LAN cable.

Thank you

Hi, its stated on the cable Cat5e....

Any issue with it?

Do let me know.

Thanks.

hi. Can i know if the RT-AC88u parental control allows realtime monitoring of SPECIFIC device? My old RT-AC66u can monitor traffic, but can't identify which device is actually actively transmitting/receiving.

any other stock router firmware/software that can do the job?

TIA.

How come after upgrading my RT86u firmware from 384.81049 to 384.81351, it still show 384.81049? I done it 3 times to be sure but still the same result.

If still unable to upgrade, you may need to reflash the latest firmware in rescue mode.
Go to RT-AC86U official website and download "ASUS Firmware Restoration version 2.1.0.2". Also get prepare the latest firmware 3.0.0.4.384.81351.

First, you need to reset your router. So make sure you need to backup your router settings in the "save settings" feature inside your router. If you want to redo the settings manually, so just note down everything important such as unifi pppoe ID and password, port forwarding settings, wifi ssid, password etc before you proceed to reset your router.

The reset button, I think you should know what to do. Usually I am using a pen to stick inside the small hole of my router.

After you reset the router, put your router in front of your PC and use a LAN cable to connect to the PC, set your PC ethernet IPv4 default gateway as 192.168.1.1. So your PC local IP just set whatever you like as long as 192.168.1.xx.

So now, you need to switch off that router. Now use your pen and hold the reset button, another hand to power on the router. Keep hold the reset button until the power LED of your router start to blink off and on very slow. Now you can release the reset button.

Start ASUS Firmware Restoration tool and locate your RT-AC86U to flash the firmware into your router. After done, you may need to wait 5-10 minutes to wait for the router restart.

** How to ensure that your router in rescue mode? You can always open 192.168.1.1 with web browser to check."

Thanks.

Hi pierrechoong,

Can you try to see there are how many copper wires inside the LAN cable?

If you have a network cable tester to test then it will be great.

Thank you

Hi soundguy,

There is 2 feature you can use in this router.

1) Traffic Analyzer.
Shows how your network is used and by which client devices or apps.

2) Bandwidth Monitor(Adaptive QoS)
Realtime bandwidth monitor for clients.

Thank you

Hi Asusmy,

8 copper wires....

Do keep me posted.

Thanks.

Hi,

I just purchased AX11000.

I cannot connect to UNIFI using PPPoE username and password. What other settings that I need to configure?
Could anyone please share the setup guides for both UNIFI and TIME Internet?

Thank you.

EDIT: Just realised for UNIFI you need to tick the ISP specific requirement or something like that. Still want to know if there if there any specific setup for TIME though. Thanks.

Hi ASUSmy,

I have a RT-AC68u for close to 5 years now - recently discovered that the wireless signals are not transmitting from the router, same for Ethernet. I used another router - my internet is working fine. Suspect the router is already busted, tried resetting but still the same.

You need to tick the ISP specific requirement for Unifi and Maxis because both ISP uses VLAN tagging. However, TIME does not use that, so you don't have to configure anything for TIMR.

CES 2020 ASUS Router no news for new model more power full 8 port LAN then AX11000 like that
